List of All-Ireland Senior Football Championship winning players explained

This is a list of male Gaelic footballers who have played on a winning team in the final of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.

In 2005, a gold medal won by the first final's man-of-the-match Malachi O'Brien fetched €26,500 (three times its guide price) at London auction house Sotheby's. It is believed to be the oldest All-Ireland football medal in existence.[1] [2]
